I just looked over your blog with the articles by Price. I am unfamiliar with his work. But, I do not see any major conflicts between my work and his, based on those articles, other than he seems to treat Judaism as if it was independent of the broader culture of the Levant. He seems ignorant of Yahwistic paganism and fails to explain the origins of Judaism from Canaanite/Phoenician culture. For example: the illustration he calls the Jewish cosmos is actually the Babylonian cosmos, a perception shared by all cults of West Asia. He also acts as if the Jewish messiah was the only savior mythology in Palestine and that is absolutely false.
In general, I agree with his assessment of Jesus as a “Jewish” myth; but, I go into much greater detail in explaining the origins and development of that myth. And, I stress that Judaism and Christianity took that mythology in very different directions.
